[ad_1] Good news is rare when it comes to pancreatic cancer.  Early detection is difficult. Post-diagnosis survival times are relatively short. Existing treatments are mostly available in the disease’s early stages. Even though just 3.2% of newly diagnosed cancers are pancreatic, it is the nation’s third-leading cause of cancer deaths. So when Dr. Rachna Shroff, who has been treating pancreatic cancer patients for 16 years, saw promising findings from a recently published clinical trial, she felt what she described as a monumental shift. “The data brought tears to my eyes,” said Shroff, the University of Arizona Cancer Center’s chief of hematology…

[ad_1] [This essay is co-authored with Professor Arthur Hellman and Gabe Roth, Executive Director of Fix the Court. Their biographies are below.] The Constitution provides only one method to punish federal judges who misbehave: impeachment, which can lead to removal from office. But there is broad consensus that judicial impeachment should be reserved for only the most egregious cases. Instead, Congress crafted a middle ground. A judicial council within the regional circuit can review allegations of misconduct, impose reprimands, and where appropriate, make an impeachment referral to the House of Representatives. Of course, the House retains the power to impeach…

[ad_1] This interview delves into the uncomfortable discussion about what is actually driving successive waves of mass migration into Europe, the UK and North America, and who is capitalizing on this perpetual crisis. Upon closer examination, it’s now clear that NATO interventions are causing the very migrant crisis that its member states claim to be solving—by fueling the Far Right at home, and by prosecuting both military and economic warfare oversees. In terms of western foreign policy, one of the biggest influences is Israel. Likewise, Israel and its wealthy lobby are also funding the Far Right reactionary and Christian nationalist…

[ad_1] Chris Hedges The release of the Epstein Files has shocked the public with unimaginable stories of the pedophilia, exploitation of women and brash depravity of the ruling class. While these stories have been the major source of public outrage, a deeper dive into the Epstein Files reveals the inside world of how the billionaire class operates to control information and collude with each other – hide their crimes and gain massive wealth at the expense of the working class. In this episode, Chris Hedges speaks with Maureen Tkacik, an investigative journalist who has studied and written about the…

[ad_1] A sampler, with apologies to Ambrose Bierce. African Americans: an anthropological abstraction; any ethnic grouping or race that can be deleted from congressional representation; a lost tribe. Audit: Something bad that happens to other people. “Beautiful:” an adjective, best used to modify “missile strikes”. Ceasefire: arabic; when less than a thousand children in Gaza are killed in a week. Climate change: archaic; often thought to be used in connection with car air conditioning in the 1950s that provided separate air flows to the front and back seats. Civil rights: in physics, a state of being that disappears when surrounded…

[ad_1] In the wake of President Donald Trump’s sudden signing of an executive order on artificial intelligence, analysts and developers alike are scratching their heads trying to figure out what precisely it means. And while both the accelerationists and the safety hawks claim a victory, the nation’s intelligence communities seem to be benefitting the most from Trump’s executive order. “If there’s any such thing as a Mythos Moment, the intelligence agency has taken the upper hand and they’re driving this process, it seems, more than anything else,” American Enterprise Institute senior fellow Will Rinehart told RealClearPolitics. In May, Anthropic made…
